A 27-year-old man was rushed to a hospital Sunday evening after an accidental shooting was reported outside of Amboy.
The man was walking near a creek when he apparently slipped and fell, his pistol went off, and he was shot in the leg, said Clark County sheriff’s Sgt. Fred Neiman. The incident appears to have been accidental, Neiman added.
By about 5:30 p.m., the man was able to get himself to the nearby Chelatchie Prairie General Store, at Northeast 424th Street and Yale Bridge Road, and ask for help.
The man was transported to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver. His name and his condition were unavailable Sunday evening.
